YOUTHFUL SOLOMON CHOSE WISDOM

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: YOUTHFUL SOLOMON CHOSE WISDOM

TEXT: 1 King 3:3-15 

THURSDAY APRIL 6th 

Key verse: Matthew6: 33. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Many people do not know how and what to ask of the Lord any time they are before Him. Some ask the right things at the wrong time, while others ask the wrong things at the right time. Seek the Lord when He may be found. God gives speedy answers when the right procedure is followed and done with faith, belief, and righteousness. Some ask amiss or with wavering hearts that it is why they obtain nothing from the Lord. The Lord showed us what to do in Matthew 7:7. “Ask, and it shall be given to you: seek, and you find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you. The procedure of prayer was given to us by the Lord Jesus Christ when the disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray in Matthew 6: 5-13
Solomon touched the heart of God by giving a thousand burnt offerings and in return, God gave him an open cheque to fill whatever his heart desired. Solomon had the opportunity to ask God to deal with his enemies and that of his father David, but chose wisdom to enable him to rule over Israel and Judah. His choice of wisdom pleased the Lord and the Lord added that which he did not ask; “both riches and honor; so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days” (verses 12-13). “And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand of the sea shore. And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and the wisdom of Egypt.” (1 King 4:29-30).
Herodias’s daughter asked for the head of John the Baptist; Gehazi asked for a gift that was already covered by leprosy; the children of Eli were busy making sinful demands from worshippers; the people asked for Barabbas the thief instead of Jesus Christ; these were not acts of wisdom.

Thought for the day: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom

Song for the day: He’s everything; Jesus is everything to me (2x) …

Bible reading for the day: Judges 18-19; Luke 10:25-42

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
